No trading is about speed, it’s about patience.

Look at BTC stuck around 9000, ETH at 3100—this is like the stifling heat before a storm. Sideways consolidation is the most gruelling, but it’s often the last struggle before a direction is chosen.

This is when it comes down to who can hold out—keep your bullets ready, stay clear-headed. Wait for the real breakout or the moment the news lands, that’s when you qualify to get on board. The market never lacks opportunities; what you should fear is that when the opportunity comes, you have no cards left to play.
